Ice Skating & Class Vespers this Friday

 

Plan now to attend ice skating and class vespers this Friday, February 11! The four classes will skate together, then each class will go to their own location for a vespers together. Some classes will also have supper together.

Class vespers and activities provide a meaningful time to be drawn closer to God, to develop friendships outside the classroom setting, and an opportunity for class officers to develop leadership skills as they plan and lead in the activity and worship experience.

As you load the bus at 2:45 PM in the parking lot of AA, please bring the following:

► Your permission slip (you will not be able to get on the bus without it)
► $10 for ice skating
► Cold weather gear (the rink is outside)

Each class member will be provided their own permission slip. The $10 is to cover the cost of using the ice, skate rental, and to help defray some of the cost for transportation. We will leave the rink at 5:30 PM and travel to your respective class supper and vespers location. Ending time of vespers for each class will be indicated on their permission slip.

Please plan now for this vespers and activity, and check with your class sponsors/officers for your permission slip.

Chapels This Week


On Monday and Tuesday, the SOW Safari mission trip participants shared some highlights of their mission trip to McAllen, Texas, this past Christmas break. Monday’s song service included two of the songs they frequently sang while there. Each day included a VBS program for the children of the community they served. They presented one of their skits, “Noah and the Ark,” for the Andrews Academy students. 

 

On Tuesday, Lucas Navia, Niko Feliciano, Claire Yang, Jeremy Samuel, and Portia Lacson shared testimonials of their life changing experiences there. They had a lot of fun, eye opening experiences, and in helping others and sharing Jesus with others, the participants came back changed.
